Jamia to
study 'minority institution' status for implementation

New Delhi:
Jamia Millia Islamia said Wednesday it will study the judgment by
the National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions (NCMEI)
granting it "minority institution" status and work out the
modalities of its implementation.
"The judgment does not in any way change the essential character
of Jamia. The university has always had a commitment to national
goals of social justice and secular ideals. It will continue to
uphold these in the future too," university vice chancellor Najeeb
Jung said.
The NCMEI Tuesday granted "minority institution" status to Jamia
Millia Islamia, giving it the right to reserve up to 50 percent of
seats for Muslims.
The order could change the secular character of the central
university as it will not have to provide a quota for OBCs and
Dalits.
Jamia currently has 22.5 reservation for SCs/STs, 25 percent for
students from the Jamia school and 3 percent for the physically
handicapped.
The NCMEI judgement put to end the almost five-year-long case on a
petition filed by the Jamia Students Union, the Jamia Old Boys
Association and the Jamia Teachers Association in 2006 contending
the university was a minority institution and not obliged to
implement any other quota following the government decision to
implement 27 percent reservation for other backward classes (OBSs)
in the university.
The Confederation of Muslim Education Institutions of India was an
intervening party while the vice chancellor of the university, the
human resource development ministry and minority affairs ministry
were the respondents.
